Ormond Tia Cori’s Tacos to close
Tia Cori’s Tacos has announced that they are closing their Ormond Beach location on West Granada Boulevard at the end of October. The original Tia Cori’s Tacos, located on Beach Street in Daytona Beach, will remain open.
The Ormond Beach location was a test market for a full restaurant, according to co-owner Corina Para-Ortiz.
“After nine months at the Ormond Beach location, we’ve realized that our niche market needs to be focused on the traditional taqueria style restaurant as we have in the Daytona Beach location,” she said.

Local company designs monitors for Navy
The United States Navy has contracted with CO2Meter Inc., of Ormond Beach, to provide carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring devices for expeditionary, portable shelters. High levels of CO2 in enclosed areas have been shown to not only reduce personnel performance over time, but can indicate problems with HVAC fresh-air delivery systems.
“Satisfying a customer like the Navy is extremely difficult because of the strict budgetary and timing criteria. Our team was able to meet those challenges and deliver a product that exceeds their initial criteria,” said Ray Hicks, president of CO2Meter Inc.
CO2Meter Inc. designs, manufactures and distributes carbon dioxide and other gas meters, sensors and indoor air quality monitors.
